When in doubt, treat for low blood sugar!
- Quickly raise your blood sugar by taking some form of sugar. Take ONE of these:
-
- 3 or 4 glucose tablets
- 1/2 cup (4 ounces) of regular (buy at a drugstore) (not diet) soft drink
- 1/2 cup (4 ounces) of fruit juice
- 8 ounces of milk
- 5 or 6 pieces of hard candy
- 1 tablespoon of sugar or honey
- Wait 15 minutes.
- Check your blood sugar again. REPEAT steps 1-3 until your blood sugar is above 70 mg/dL.
